HAPPY HANUKKAH!
Sundown Tuesday, December 20, 2011 to sundown Wednesday, December 28, 2011.

“Hanukkah” the Hebrew word meaning dedication is a time commemorating the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem (defiled by the mighty Greek Empire) follows the years of struggle by the Maccabees. The tale of a day’s worth of consecrated oil miraculously lasting for eight turns out to be a fable but not to take away from the true meaning of this feast, the holiday is a victory of rededication in faith, hope, and miracles. It also known as the Jewish Thanksgiving.

Wishing you a joyful time of celebrating the overcoming victory of the Light of the World during the celebration of ‘Festival of Lights’. Yeshua is remembered as the Pesach, the Passover lamb, who died as a sacrifice for our sins with a mission to lead his lost sheep (Matthew 15:24) — the ten tribes from the House of Israel (Ezekiel 37) — to salvation.

Yeshua is the light of the world and the perpetual light in our lives. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not suppressed it. (John 1:5)

The Festival of Chanukah
Interestingly, the story outlined above derives from extra-biblical literature, as well as from the Apocrypha (Books of the Maccabees), except that there is no mention of the oil nor of the miracle of the oil in these sources. Only until we reach the time of the Gemara (the later part of the Talmud that was commentary on the Mishnah, completed around 500 AD) do we hear anything about the miracle of the oil in connection with the rededication of the Temple.

CHRIST-MASS — Truth or Tradition
Is Christmas Biblical? Absolutely not. After learning the truth of the ways and traditions of man found within Christianity and Catholicism, I no longer stand by false doctrines in support of worldly religions and pagan practices. Christian traditions (everything from 12 days of Christmas, to the decorated tree, to Old Nick, to the actual day itself) come directly out of ancient pagan, cultic idolatry.

We live in a dark world of fleshly desires and for those guided by the Ruach HaKodesh, we must shine the light and wake up those around us. It is has been exhilarating coming into the Hebraic Roots and learning of our true Creator, YHWH. Yahweh commands us to observe his annual holy feasts and weekly Shabbat. (Leviticus 23)

ADONAI says: “Don’t learn the way of the Goyim (nations), don’t be frightened by astrological signs, even if the Goyim are afraid of them; for the customs of the peoples are nothing. They cut down a tree in the forest; a craftsman works it with his axe; they deck it with silver and gold. They fix it with hammer and nails, so that it won’t move. Like a scarecrow in a cucumber patch, it cannot speak. It has to be carried, because it cannot walk. Do not be afraid of it it can do nothing bad; likewise it is unable to do anything good!” (Jeremiah 10:2-5)

Latin translation of Merry Christmas? Christians and Pagans come together in agreement proclaiming, “Rejoice the Messiah is Dead.” (read more)

Then I heard another voice out of heaven say: “My people, come out of her! so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not be infected by her plagues, for her sins are a sticky mass piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.” (Revelation 18:4-5)

Spiritual Warfare
CHANUKAH IS A REMINDER THAT WE MUST REMAIN COMMITTED to the truth in a godless, and therefore insane, world. After all, since ultimate reality is the “handiwork” (i.e., conscious design) of a single, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving, morally perfect, purposive, personal, and spiritual Agency that has been revealed in the Jewish Scriptures, those who deny this Reality are living in a state of delusion (that is, a protracted “hallucination” that indicates radical departure from what is real).

Yeshua spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light which gives life.” (John 8:12)

Five Reasons To Celebrate Hanukkah
By Boaz Michael

1. Did you know that Hanukkah is in the Gospels?
Hanukkah is not mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures because the story of Hanukkah happened after the last book of the Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures) had been written. However, Hanukkah is mentioned in the Gospels. Yeshua went to the Temple for the Feast of Hanukkah.

2. Did you know that Hanukkah is a story of religious persecution?
Hanukkah is a story of religious persecution and standing up for faith in God. Yeshua tells us we can expect persecution, but He also tells us that we must stand firm in our faith.

3. Did you know that Hanukkah is the Festival of the Light of the World?
Hanukkah is the Festival of Light. It celebrates the relighting of the menorah lamp that burned in God’s Holy Temple. In rabbinic terminology, the menorah was sometimes called the “light of the world.” Yeshua said, “I am the Light of the world,” and another time He told His disciples, “You are the light of the world.”

4. Did you know that Yeshua talked about Hanukkah?
Yeshua talked about Hanukkah. He warned His disciples that the things that happened in the story of Hanukkah would happen again (Mark 13:13-16, Matthew 24:15-18). To understand what He was saying, His disciples had to know the story of Hanukkah.

5. Did you know that Hanukkah commemorates the dedication of God’s Temple?
Hanukkah means “dedication.” It is a remembrance of when the Jews rededicated God’s Holy Temple to serve only Lord. The Apostolic Scriptures tell us that we are God’s Temple.

TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE – BLOOD RED MOON

TETRAD: Extremely rare four ‘blood-red’ total lunar eclipses will fall on Passover and Sukkot in 2014 and 2015, the same back-to-back occurrences at the time of 1492 (when Columbus, an Italian Jew, sailed with a crew of former Spanish Jewish prisoners and discovered America), 1948 (when Israel became a nation) and 1967 (when Israel re-took the Temple Mount in Jerusalem).

“CHRIST-MASS”, the old Heathens Feasting Day, in honor to Saturn their Idol-God. Mithra, the Light of the World, is an ancient sun god identified with Sol Invictus, who was born on December 25th. Single most important religious holiday observed today in Christianity would have been forbidden in the first century (early New Testament times). Many historians and Biblical scholars corroborate this fact. Knowing the truth I no longer celebrate this pagan holiday of tradition of men.

The Christmas super-holiday is the standard for popular observances today. Families will gather on December 25, gorge themselves on ham and turkey, stare at a decorated tree while a swooning Bing provides the ambience, and exchange billions of dollars in gifts, many of them unwanted. A crescendo of months of retailer hype will climax on one grand day of the Savior’s supposed birth. (read more)

If we want to be true followers of YHVH and Yeshua, then let’s follow actual Scripture, not man-made doctrine. The all-popular saying “Let’s keep Christ in Christmas” has been showing up more readily on Facebook and church road-side banners. Once again, when simple fact is applied there is no origin for a Greek “Christ” and a “Christmas” to begin with. Once again, are we set apart? Are we Scriptural believers and followers or are we cultural believers? (read more)

The “LORD” that you give honor to each year on December 25th – is NOT the one that you think you are honoring. (read more)

In order to obey the mitzvot of ADONAI your God which I am giving you, do not add to what I am saying, and do not subtract from it. (Deuteronomy 4:2)

“I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star. The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ Let anyone who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let anyone who is thirsty come – let anyone who wishes, take the water of life free of charge.” I warn everyone hearing the words of the prophecy in this book that if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues written in this book. And if anyone takes anything away from the words in the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the Tree of Life and the holy city, as described in this book. (Revelation 22:16-19)

Hear the word ADONAI speaks to you, house of Isra’el! Here is what ADONAI says: “Don’t learn the way of the Goyim (nations), don’t be frightened by astrological signs, even if the Goyim are afraid of them; for the customs of the peoples are nothing. They cut down a tree in the forest; a craftsman works it with his axe; they deck it with silver and gold. They fix it with hammer and nails, so that it won’t move. Like a scarecrow in a cucumber patch, it cannot speak. It has to be carried, because it cannot walk. Do not be afraid of it it can do nothing bad; likewise it is unable to do anything good!” (Jeremiah 10:1-5)

Some from the nations, tribes, languages and peoples see their bodies for three-and-a-half days and do not permit the corpses to be placed in a tomb. 10 The people living in the Land rejoice over them, they celebrate and send each other gifts, because these two prophets tormented them so. (Revelation 11:9-10)

Jim Staley – Truth or Tradition – Should Christians Celebrate Christmas and Easter?

This is BY FAR one of THE MOST POPULAR videos on the internet detailing the historical accounts and biblical commentary on Christmas and Easter. Did you know that during the popular 16th century plays, before the devil would come on stage, he would announce himself by saying the phrase “Ho, Ho, Ho”? And this is where Santa got his most famous phrase! This teaching was first featured on God’s Learning Channel. Jim exposes the TRUTH of where these holidays came from and how they came to be celebrated. You will be shocked at the details of this video and it is not for the faint of heart. DO NOT watch this unless you want to know the truth. Even if you already know the history, this video will challenge even you.

Birth of Yeshua at Sukkot Luke 2:1-7

[...]
Yeshua was conceived 6 months (about 25 weeks) after Yochanon’s
conception. This means Yeshua was conceived around the 37th week around Chanukah. This would mean the light of the world was conceived during the festival of lights.

Yeshua was born 40 weeks later (around week 77 that is week 25 of the following year) this brings us to the time of the fall feasts.

PART 1

PART 2

With the world awakening to biblical prophetic end times, it is for reason and purpose by ADONAI our God to see His plan coming together. The two Houses, the 10 Tribes from the House of Israel and two Tribes from the House of Judah being brought back together before Yeshua (Jesus’ Hebrew name) the Messiah returns.

Jacob’s blessing upon Ephraim and his descendants was essentially an extension of Yahweh’s promise to Abraham:

ADONAI appeared to Avram and said to him, “I am El Shaddai [God Almighty]. Walk in my presence and be pure-hearted. I will make my covenant between me and you, and I will increase your numbers greatly.” Avram fell on his face, and God continued speaking with him: “As for me, this is my covenant with you: you will be the father of many nations. Your name will no longer be Avram [exalted father], but your name will be Avraham [father of many], because I have made you the father of many nations. I will cause you to be very fruitful. I will make nations of you, kings will descend from you. “I am establishing my covenant between me and you, along with your descendants after you, generation after generation, as an everlasting covenant, to be God for you and for your descendants after you. (Genesis 17:1-7)

And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim’s head…And he blessed Joseph, and said … his [Ephraim’s] seed shall become a multitude of nations. (Genesis 48:14-19)

Gentiles and Jews grafted as one in Hebraic roots, as one people, one nation, under one God (Yahweh) with one covenant, one law, and one Messiah (Yeshua).

“Here, the days are coming,” says ADONAI, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Isra’el and with the house of Y’hudah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers on the day I took them by their hand and brought them out of the land of Egypt; because they, for their part, violated my covenant, even though I, for my part, was a husband to them,” says ADONAI. “For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Isra’el after those days,” says ADONAI: “I will put my Torah within them and write it on their hearts; I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will any of them teach his fellow community member or his brother, ‘Know ADONAI’; for all will know me, from the least of them to the greatest; because I will forgive their wickednesses and remember their sins no more.” This is what ADONAI says, who gives the sun as light for the day, who ordained the laws for the moon and stars to provide light for the night, who stirs up the sea until its waves roar — ADONAI-Tzva’ot is his name (Jeremiah 31:31-35)

Yahweh divorced the ten-tribed house of Israel and scattered them among non-Israelite gentiles or nations. Referred to as Christians, these reunited Israelites would be christened sons of the living God.

Yeshua said to them, “Yes. I tell you that in the regenerated world, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Isra’el. Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times more, and he will obtain eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.” (Matthew 19:28-30)

Yeshua said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Isra’el.” (Matthew 15:24)

The word of ADONAI came to me: “You, human being, take one stick and write on it, ‘For Y’hudah and those joined with him [among] the people of Isra’el.’ Next, take another stick and write on it, ‘For Yosef, the stick of Efrayim, and all the house of Isra’el who are joined with him.’ Finally, bring them together into a single stick, so that they become one in your hand. When your people ask you what all this means, tell them that Adonai ELOHIM says this: ‘I will take the stick of Yosef, which is in the hand of Efrayim, together with the tribes of Isra’el who are joined with him, and put them together with the stick of Y’hudah and make them a single stick, so that they become one in my hand.’ The sticks on which you write are to be in your hand as they watch. 21 Then say to them that Adonai ELOHIM says: ‘I will take the people of Isra’el from among the nations where they have gone and gather them from every side and bring them back to their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Isra’el; and one king will be king for all of them. They will no longer be two nations, and they will never again be divided into two kingdoms. “‘They will never again defile themselves with their idols, their detestable things, or any of their transgressions; but I will save them from all the places where they have been living and sinning; and I will cleanse them, so that they will be my people, and I will be their God. (Ezekiel 37:15-23)

The Jewish people have hardened hearts and have not accepted the false teachings (watered down version) of Jesus as the Messiah of Israel for the Messiah who follows Torah and keeps commandments is Yeshua (which means salvation). Christianity did away with the law (Torah) in place of saved grace.

Yeshua said, “Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah — not until everything that must happen has happened. So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:17-19)

Yeshua said, “I AM the Way — and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me. Because you have known me, you will also know my Father; from now on, you do know him — in fact, you have seen him.” (John 14:6-7)

I will bring them to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.” Adonai ELOHIM says, he who gathers Isra’el’s exiles: “There are yet others I will gather, besides those gathered already.” (Isaiah 56:7-8)

Yeshua the bridegroom is coming back for his bride, Jewish and Gentile believers.

One of the seven angels having the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues approached me and said, “Come! I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb.” He carried me off in the Spirit to the top of a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Yerushalayim, coming down out of heaven from God. It had the Sh’khinah of God, so that its brilliance was like that of a priceless jewel, like a crystal-clear diamond. It had a great, high wall with twelve gates; at the gates were twelve angels; and inscribed on the gates were the names of the twelve tribes of Isra’el. (Revelation 21:9-12)

HalleluYAH! Praise YAH! WE ARE ISRAEL

Jim Staley – Identity Crisis -This message will change your world!

For two thousand years we have all been taught that Israel is the Jewish people and the Jewish people are Israel. This misunderstanding has crippled our ability to truly glean from the scriptures all that was originally intended. We as Believers have lost our mission, purpose and depth of knowledge of the scriptures and it is largely because of not understanding this very important topid. The greatest prophecy of the bible concerns this very subject. Many have called this teaching the key to understanding the entire bible! I will let Professor C.A.L. Totten of Yale University tell you his thoughts concerning this very subject: “The very understanding of this difference (of the two ancient Kingdoms of Israel) is the KEY by which almost the entire Bible becomes intelligible, and I cannot state too strongly that the man who has not yet seen that Israel of the Scripture is totally distinct from (not just) the Jewish people, is yet in the very infancy, the mere alphabet of Biblical study, and that to this day the meaning of seven-eighths of the Bible is shut to his understanding.”—Professor C.A.L. Totten (1851-1908) of Yale University To order the HIGH quality DVD of this teaching, please go to: Passion for Truth Ministries

ADONAI said to Moshe, “Speak to the people of Isra’el; tell them, ‘I am ADONAI your God. You are not to engage in the activities found in the land of Egypt, where you used to live; and you are not to engage in the activities found in the land of Kena’an, where I am bringing you; nor are you to live by their laws. You are to obey my rulings and laws and live accordingly; I am ADONAI your God. You are to observe my laws and rulings; if a person does them, he will have life through them; I am ADONAI. (Leviticus 18:1-5)

Jim Staley – Law Vs Love – Is it really Law OR Grace? (Audio)

Is the Law really against Grace? For the past 1800 years most of us have been taught that the Old Testament was all about Law and the New Testament is all about Love. We might have even been led to believe that those of the OT were saved by works and today we are saved by grace…That it is either Law or Love. This teaching dispels the idea that Jesus or the bible pits one against the other, but rather that the two are actually one. You will see that the God of yesterday still defines love the same way that He does today…through obedience to His Word.
